Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending section 28-721, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to traffic violations.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law regarding traffic violations, specifically focusing on driving on the right side of the roadway and the use of the left lane. The key provision is that if a person is driving a vehicle at a speed slower than the normal flow of traffic and fails to stay in the right-hand lane or as close as practicable to the right edge of the roadway, except when passing or preparing to turn left, the Arizona Department of Transportation (the department) may assess two points against that person's driving record. This change aims to improve traffic flow by encouraging slower vehicles to keep to the right, thereby reducing potential obstructions in faster lanes.
